Well....I have a tendency to read books with lots of pages so yay for big books. The largest book I recently read would either be Henry VIII: The King and His Court or The Wars of the Roses by Alison Weir, followed by Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives and Daughters (the page numbers between these three are really close if you change the font size and the paper quality). I'm currently working through Christina Rossetti's Complete Poems, which weighs in at about 1400 pages, but that's something you just don't sit down and read cover to cover.
The single largest book I own is 30,000 Years of Art : The Story of Human Creativity Across Time and Space; it probably weighs as much as the coffee table it rests on (has awesome pictures, too).

Most recently, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at 652 pages. Before that, several months ago, World Without End at 1014 pages! I love long books too =) I see you read Alison Weir. She is one of the best non-fiction writers out there. Did you know she wrote a novel? (I'm sure you did!) Can I put a copy of that button on my blog?
